the rear fold down cup holders have gone too, my kids love'd them !!!

Down here we still get rear cup holders but they are an after thought, look dorky and are just waiting to be broken but as you say the kids love them.

Thanks for the good review. I was thinking I would be forking out cash very soon on one of these when I seen the launch pictures. Having now seen yours I think my bank account is safe for the near future. That does nothing for me!
All I could think was:
1.If I get the grill painted to remove the chrome it might look better.
2.If I get the roof rails painted black it might look better.
3.If I get the mirrors painted it might look better.
4.If I could somehow get that daft spoiler lip removed on the tailgate it might look better.
5.How much would C channels cost to be installed on the floor of the bed?

Then I realized the answer, keep my existing truck

Better get that chassis of mine waxoyled then!!!

It does come off if you wanted to remove it but it also grows on you.
When I got mine it's the first thing I wanted to do to it but run out of time when I first got it and thought I'll remove it next chance I get. 10,000km later I have grown to like the look of it.

Having picked up a brand new D40 Teckna -connect for less than £18k (+Vat)

another 10-12k for the new model:surprise:

i was same, picked up a new salamon for 17.5k +vat, although dealer said they can offer upto 14%off new model

For me one of the best parts of the Navara is that the rear seats split and underneath if you remove the plastic bins, you have a completely flat floor. The new one doesn't and i bought myself a V6 instead.

Yeah and there's no room behind the seat like the old ones either. One of my pet hates is both of these.

For those considering different truck check the warranties I've just discovered that the interiors on fords only has a 12 month warranty :jawdrop shocking tbh things like that are certainly making me consider where I spend my money I bloody love the look of the ranger though :bow it'll be Easter before I part with any cash so plenty of time to see what faults show up.

I've just paid £20746 for a NP300 Tekna AUTO with sunroof, plus vat of course, the manual would have been £19789, so there is massive savings to be had if you push hard enough.

thats a very good price

Hamlet · Jan 18, 2016

I think one flashed in front of me on a road I was crossing this morning, didn't get a great look so not sure but the lip on the tailgate caught my eye as it traveled away so pretty sure it was an NP300, looked well in black, first one I've seen.

Black-Racer-799 · Jan 18, 2016

Yeah in black they do look a lot better, way more striking. Though those orange and brown colors..... they make the truck look soooo bad

sparky750 · Jan 18, 2016

Seen one today as other have said in orange it's ***** looks terrible but the black one they had looked absolutely superb I'm going to get a test drive sorted soon but in the metal and not in that horrible orange colour it looks bloody superb which astounded me because the photos look *****.

That's a cracking price! I test drove a manual one on Saturday and I'm test driving an auto this weekend. I wasn't overly impressed with the manual box.

I currently have a '14 Ranger Wildtrak.

Do you mind messaging me where you got that price fro? and maybe I can wind down my local dealer or purchase from the same place you got yours.

Many thanks

My local dealer is wanting 21.5 without sunroof
Did that include metallic paint as well

Those ordering/test driving can you see if we get the 12v socket in the bed, Nissans website configure thing seems to be broken so I can't see what option are available etc, I'm properly on the fence at the moment about a pickup or a Kombi van like the merc vito etc I'm just worried how water tight the bed will be with a trucktop type thing on it, something I've never had to consider until now after driving pathfinders the past 10 years. I want my cake and eat it :screwy

It says on specs that there are 3 on all models but doesn't say where. I know one is top/middle of dash by windscreen, one is in cubby box between seats but I can't remember/didn't notice where the third is .........

sparky750 · Jan 20, 2016

Yeah I read that on the uk spec the reviews I'd been watching/reading where Aussie ones and they get a waterproof 12v socket in the tub which would be ideal for cool box when with kids also handy for changing some tools etc when working. I just can't find mention of it on the uk site both ranger and amarok come with one obviously not the end of the world if it doesn't but it would certainly be nice.

Powerboats · Jan 20, 2016

One on top of dash, one in the armrest cubby box and the other to the right of the a/c controls and down a bit, like on the D40.

sparky750 · Jan 20, 2016

So we don't get the tub 12v either

as well as the nifty sliding window
